Died Among Strangers.

We are indebted to DR.. T. j. Nair, for.
merly Of this county, but now of Abilene
Kansas, for copy of the Abilene Daila
Gazette, with the following account of the
death Of a lady, said to be from Augusta
county:
A lady apparently about thirty years of age,
was placed on the Kansas Pacific train to-day
at Abilene, with ticket for Stanton Vir-
gnia. She was in the last stages of consllmn
ton, and Just before the train reached Topeka
she breathed her last. A letter was found in
that her name is Ann Smith, and that she was
on her way to her mothers home in Virginia.
The dead woman was taken to an undertaking
establishment in North Topeka and the coro-
ner summoned.-1o Topeka Daily State Journal.
The lady above mentioned was lately res
1dent OF Carlton, this county, who was brought
mere tuesday evening by aWoman by the name
OF Green at whose house she had been stopping
IN The village of Carlton for some time past. It
was ascertafned by reporter of the Gazette
mat the unfortuEate woman and her husband,
young man of rather dissolute habits, came
mere from Virginia about a year ago. They
were newly married couple and life's pros
poets seemed bright before them. The young
mans parents, who are quite wealthy it is
said, opposed the match but as sslove laughs"
ETC, tney were married all the same, and came
to Kansas to live.
After a time the husband either became tired

Woib W WoIA ZOE u MI cole, OF Carlton, where
she remained for sometime, but has recently
been living with Mrs. Green.
Some time ago her mother was written to in
regard to her daughters illness. The mother
wrote PACK to send her home dead or alive
Accordingly, on Wednesday she was brought
to Abilene and put on the eustbound train by
Mrs Green who had purchased for her a ticket
to Staunton. Va.
The bad feature in the case is that there
should have, been, by ali means, some one to
accompany her to her home. The sick woman
WI was almost hel pless could hardly walk and had
to be assisted to the train. She was undoubt-
eddy in dying condition at the time she left
Abilene. The parties who deliberately started |
this poor. dying woman q. long Journey I'M
attended, should be thoroughly ashamed of
thelr beastly, inhuman actions. 1t is appointed |
10 man once to die, but to die unattended and |
among strangers is fearful to contemplate 1t |
was very british and inhuman action, on the |
part OF her supposed friends.

A WArF.-On Monday morning last,
about 8 o'elock, a loud rap was heard on
the door of the residence of Capt. Theo.
Long, who resides at the water works. of
which he is the Superintendent. On ope-
ming the door, the person who had knocked
had disappeared, but there was some thing
snugly wraped in a large blanket. On
examining it, it was seen to be few weeks
old boy baby, neatly dressed and in healthy
condition. 1t was taken in and cared for.
Of course the large-hearted Capt. could
not turn away from such an appeal as that
Further than stated the affair is an I'M

RELIGIOUS SERVICES AT THE I'd BAP-
list Notwithstanding to previous. an
nouncement, the Rev. Samuel Driver
preached to a good audience On Sunday
. morning last, at the above mentioned
place. So far as we know, it was the first
time that a pulpit in Staunton was ever
filled by one Of the German Baptist de-
nomination and persuasion. This is the
more singular when it is considered that
as religious body. they are quite numer-
Gus in the Valley Of Virginia-a good
many ministers living in Augusta county,
and who have for many years, time and
again preached near by. and on every side
of this city.
On rising, Mr.. d. prefaced his remarks
by saying that he thought it proper under
the circumstances, to briefly state what is
the customary mode Of their worship.
First,-a hymn sung while sitting-then
prayer, during which it was requested, that
every one in the house would either
stand or kneel. Next, the sermon-then
singing, after which prayer Or the bene-
diction, closing as q the former one, with
the Lords prayer.
He remarked that his church had no OBJ
lection to collections, provided they were
meant to aid in paying the ordinary expen.
ses Of rent, &c.
He selected the familiar hymn Jesus
Lover Of Ny SOUP as Introductory to the
service. After which we can recall to
mimi no nanra fcr,,aY,+ fnu or ;,onrocripo
invocation to High Heaven-couched in
the simplest language, but embodying ap
parently every subject of and for supplica-
ton at throne of grace, than was offered
on Sunday morning. He then preached
from Romans, 1st chap. IS. II and IS ver-
ses. Any synopsis would fail to do justice
to his discourse. We believe every one in
the house was pleased with it.
At night, the Rev. z. P. Richardson of
Louisa C. FL. of the Christian church,
preached, Notwithstanding the rainfall, to
large and attentive audience.
Reading from the last chapter of Reve-
lations, without taking text, he chose as
his subject, the one thing necessary to
prepare US for the Judgment of the final
day, and that was purity or holiness. No
simpler illustration of perhaps the sublim-
est of truths could be possible more than
the one chosen by the man who bore in
word and look every evidence of a pious,
devoted Godfearing man. Said he, if
here in our daily intercourse with one
another, we continually see how. repug-
nant a coed man is to the companions of
bad ones. what would be the result, were
wicked man to intrude himself into
Heaven among the perfectly Righteous !?
And as the only home we can possibly
claim isthe one prepared for US in Heaven,
what must be the feelings of those SO I'M
fortunate as to find themselves ina place
not prepared for us, but for the Devil and
his angels?
The day was a treat to the Second
church who have had no pastor for some
time. and who look forward to like
pleasure, as both these Christian gentle
men have promised preach for the peo
pie of Staunton again some time in Febru
airy, of which due notice viii be given.
